Completing the Manufacturing Preconversion Checklist

This checklist discusses the tasks that you must perform for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing systems before you run the base currency conversion:

Preconversion Task	Description	√
Locate and revise items with missing values.	Run the Costing Exceptions program (R30801). This program generates a report that lists the values that are missing for an item, such as an item without a routing or cost component. Revise any items that appear on the report.
Compile a list of UDC fields that contain amounts.	If you have UDC fields that contain amounts, compile a list of the fields and tables in which they reside. After the conversion, you must manually update the amounts in these fields.
Locate and correct price variances.	Run the Work in Process (R31802A) and Completions (R31802) programs. The Work in Process program locates any open work orders with price variances. The Completions program locates any completed work orders with price variances. In final mode, both of these programs create journal entries for work order transactions and update the F3102 table.
Locate and correct manufacturing variances.	Before you complete this task, run the Work in Process and Completions programs in final mode (previous task). Run the Variances program (R31804). In final mode, this program creates journal entries for manufacturing variances. Note: Run this program only one time for the same set of transactions; otherwise, the program creates duplicate journal entries.
Decide whether to convert x-rule records in the Assembly Inclusion Rules table (F3293) table. See Ordered and Additional Conversion Tables.	Review the x-rule records in the F3293 table. The cost (CST1) and price (UPRC) fields for x-rule records can contain a monetary amount or factor (nonmonetary) value. For records with a factor value, the price field is multiplied by the result from the derived calculation in the DERC field. Determine whether most of the x-rule records contain a monetary amount or factor value, and then use these guidelines to decide whether to convert the F3293 table to the new base currency: If most of the x-rule records contain monetary amounts, consider converting the F3293 table and then manually changing any records with factor values. If most of the x-rule records contain factor values, consider not converting the F3293 table because it would convert the factor values to the new base currency, which would not be the desired result. In this situation, you must manually convert all F3293 records. To convert the F3293 table, you run a postconversion program called Assembly Inclusion Conversion (R893293EB).
Process all open work orders.	Process all open work orders and complete all shop floor activities. The base currency conversion converts amounts in the Work Order Routing (F3112), Work Order Time Transactions (F31122), and F3102 tables, but it does not convert open work orders. If it did, a work order would have labor and material costs in two different currencies after the conversion. The labor costs would be in the new base currency, whereas the material costs would remain in the previous currency. Therefore, you must process all work orders to avoid inconsistencies in the F3102 table.
Locate work orders with blank values in the Business Unit field.	Create and run a report or query over the Work Order Master File (F4801) to locate work orders that have business units equal to blank. To correct the work orders, enter a value for each work order in the Business Unit field on the Work Order Revisions form. The base currency conversion does not convert work orders that have blank values in the Business Unit field.
Post all transactions to the general ledger.	Run all active batches through to completion and verify the posting edit reports.
